We have a great Horrible Histories review here for you!
The first Horrible Histories books were published in 1993, and to celebrate the 25th anniversary the team behind the successful books have brought two titles to life with brand new engaging, entertaining and educational stage shows.
The Horrible Histories double bill of Terrible Tudors and Awful Egyptians will entertain Storyhouse audiences with two hilarious shows featuring eye-popping 3D special effects.
Horrible Histories Live on Stage comes to Storyhouse in Chester from Tuesday 5 November to Friday 8 November 2019. Tickets are on sale now and group rates are available.
Horrible Histories Live on Stage is written by Terry Deary from his bestselling Horrible Histories books. Terry Deary is the world’s bestselling non-fiction author for children and one of the most popular children’s authors in the country. He has written 200 books which have been translated into 40 different languages. Over the past 25 years, his 50 Horrible Histories titles have sold over 25 million copies worldwide from China to Brazil.
Terrible Tudors gives visitors the chance to take a trip through the horrible Henrys to the end of evil Elizabeth and hear the legend (and the lies!) about the torturing Tudors. Find out the fate of Henry’s headless wives and his punch-up with the Pope. Meet Bloody Mary and see Ed fall dead in his bed. Survive the Spanish Armada as it sails into the audience! Terrible Tudors runs from Tuesday 5 November to Friday 8 November 2019.
Awful Egyptians invites you to meetthe fascinating Pharaohs, gasp at the power of the pyramids, and discover the foul facts of death and decay with the meanest mummies in Egypt. Are you ready to rumble with Ramesses the Great? Dare you enter through the Gates of the Afterlife? It’s the history of Egypt with the nasty bits left in! Awful Egyptians runs from Wednesday 6 November to Friday 8 November 2019.
A special feature of the productions are the amazing Bogglevision 3D effects. Among an array of 3D-illusions the audience will see the Spanish Armada firing cannonballs into the auditorium or the Mummy reaching out to grab them!

Their acclaimed productions include David Walliams’ Gangsta Granny and Awful Auntie, and Roald Dahl’s George’s Marvellous Medicine.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT HORRIBLE HISTORIES
‘A brilliantly fun piece of educational theatre that taught this
history graduate a few new things’
Daily Telegraph
‘Is this any way for children to learn about history? Too right it is!
If lessons were always like this, kids would be queuing at the school gates!’

No child or adult should be denied the chance to see this:
live theatre and history at its rip-roaring best’

Or given how little most us know, maybe every living room!’
